So have you actually managed to finish anything yet or are you still getting sad halfway through, trashing the whole thing and sulkily starting an entirely new project or what

Please stop being overly aggressive and going for somebody's throat every time you feel like they need to be taken down a peg or two. It's really ugly and totally unnecessary, and it's not doing you any favors.

you are literally a dog's butthole. i bet your cute dog just sniffs you all day long being like "who is that." when you write a story it looks like poop. everytime u try to hold a pen it just goes up into you, because you are a butthole.

#thunderdome on synirc is where most people actually hang out and talk

#longwalk exists but is so far rarely used...mostly just people who are already in #thunderdome idling and never talking

So have you actually managed to grow any hair yet or are you still getting sad about being bald, shaving the whole thing and sulkily looking into the mirror or what

actually, all the hair on my dick is gone, which rules because it makes my small dick look larger without razor bumps

what about you fatass? you lose any dick fat to make your micropenis visible?

5,411 words right now, what about you? how is twiceFAIL going? was the character 'scabs' based on your mom? was the loving tree bitch your sexual fantasy because you could pollinate it or whatever the gently caress trees do instead of using your useless loving dick on it?

oh sorry i don't have all day to write since my job actually matters and I'm not just sitting around all day waiting for my life to end.

man, writing a little bit, even if it's only once every few weeks, really adds up after a while.



I am definitely looking to increase my productivity though. I started a new schedule today that I'm hoping works out: get up at 7am, go running, think about what i'm going to write while I run, come back and write until 9, then go to work.

Day 1, check.

that huge climb in the beginning is the summer before Ph.D. :(

Everyone in Write About Dragons was an "adult" that regularly failed to meet deadlines and goals!!!

yeah, but they didn't lie about it and try to say they met the goal.

If i fail the goal, which is entirely likely, I will tell you failed it. If not I will take a screenshot of my wordcounts/document titles spread over several documents, but I don't feel like sending out a bunch of unpolished chapters from my unfinished novel, and other people are in the same boat. The thread says how we show we completed it is up to us.

I get you wanna go to ban town on people who didn't do their goal, but saying they have to adhere to your strict rule and show you all their work is overboard, especially when the OP stated we could show we got our wordcount however we wanted. I toxxed to write a certain amount, not to send somebody my document.

establish better writing habits by getting up earlier and writing at least an hour before noon every day.

I did this for several days, and they were my best writing days. I'll see how i can do in may. I have a really really really busy schedule, so i'll probably toxx for the min and hope to overachieve.
